X Factor 2011: Is Tulisa actually trying to be Cheryl Cole’s clone?

New X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos shows how she’ll compare to Cheryl Cole – nicking her look for her first official show photo.

And it’s rather a lot like Cheryl Cole!

Here’s the full story from The Sun…

The N-Dubz singer showed off her long brown locks as she posed in a low-cut silvery dress that could have come from the former judge’s wardrobe.

Tulisa said yesterday that Simon Cowell had told her to “be herself” on the show.

But the hip-hop star – known for her brightly-coloured tracksuits – insisted she had put her fashion mistakes behind her.

Tulisa, 23, admitted: “Anything I wore under the age of 20 is pretty atrocious.”

She revealed that since signing up to the ITV1 talent show she has a TWO-HOUR make-up routine.

She said: “I loved experimenting with labels like Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen during auditions but I’m a high-street girl at heart.

“I’m lucky to have a ‘glam squad’ of hairdressers, make-up artists and stylists who help.”

Tulisa also revealed that in a game of Snog, Marry, Avoid with the new judges she would snub Take That hunk Gary Barlow – for sexy Kelly Rowland.

She said: “I’d snog Kelly, marry Louis Walsh and avoid Gary because he’s a married man! I love Kelly to bits.”
